Beijing is known for its lamb hotpot, which originated from the Manchu people who emphasize meats over other people. Since lamb is the specialty, every piece of lamb is specially chosen and carefully cut and processed.

Beijing Roast duck is considered to be one of the most delicious dishes in the world; most visitors coming to Beijing will try it at least once. Quanjude, founded in 1864, features a roasted and dried duck brilliantly shining with oil on the crisp skin and tender meat. It looks just as delicious as it tastes.
